Upon hearing David Rochera's inquiry, Felin put down the bottle-shaped bronze vessel.
With a master's level in jewelry and antique appraisal, the loopholes in the bottle-shaped bronze in front of him became extremely clear before his eyes.
He spoke.
"This is a high-end imitation, but although it is a high-end imitation, it is very realistic in terms of shape, craftsmanship, inscriptions, and decorations. No wonder Rochera's chief appraiser is not sure."
David Rochela wanted to embarrass him, so naturally he would not give David Rochela face.
Since you said you can't be sure, I just assume that your level is limited and you really can't be sure.
"Oh, I wonder where Director Socks judged that this was a high imitation?"
When Felin said it was a high imitation, David didn't panic at all.
There is no use in "guessing" it. It is useful to be able to find out where the loophole is.
And he was extremely confident about that loophole.
Even he discovered the loophole several times later. He didn't think that the other party from a small laboratory could find the loophole.
"This is a high imitation of a bronze from the late empire that dates back more than a thousand years. The inscription is indeed the Ye La script of the empire, so there is no problem."
Having said this, Felin paused for a moment before speaking.
"The writing of each period has its own font style. Although this bronze has no problem with the writing, the font style has the serpentine style of the Principality period."
"The writing style of the principality period will appear on the cultural relics of the imperial period. This is obviously problematic."
Felin glanced at David Rochera and said.
"It seems that Rochera's chief appraiser's skills in inscription style still need to be improved."
'I actually saw it, this guy actually saw it!'
When Felin pointed out that there was something wrong with the font style, David felt relieved and extremely shocked.
The other party, who only came from a small laboratory, actually had such an appraisal level. Not only was he able to discover flaws that even he almost failed to discover, he also did so in much less time than he did.
And when he heard that the other party used his "appraisal knowledge" to remind him, he felt depressed and aggrieved. He had strong anger in his heart but could not vent it.
Forced by the formality, he responded reluctantly.
"Director Socks...is what he said."
He obviously wanted to lose face to Felin Sox, but he didn't want to lose face to himself. You can imagine how aggrieved he felt at this time.
"Pop."
Suddenly applause sounded, and David's face turned gloomy.
How dare you clap your hands and ridicule yourself? If you can't deal with Felin Sox, why can't you deal with a small clerk?
He looked towards the direction where the sound came from.
However, when he saw the people clapping his hands, the gloom on his face disappeared again, and he felt even more aggrieved.
This is also someone he can't deal with!
"Awesome, really awesome. It is indeed the right decision to hire Mr. Socks as the appraisal supervisor!"
A man wearing glasses and a mustache came forward, smiled, stretched out his hand to Felin, and said.
"Mr. Sokes, I am Nyssa Harlowen, general manager of Dawei De Auction House."
Everyone in the appraisal department saw the incompatibility between the chief appraiser and Felin, the appraisal supervisor, and chose to stay out of the matter, unwilling to get involved.
But as the general manager of Dawei De Auction House, he doesn't care about this, because he has the highest position in Dawei De Auction House's Constant City branch, and he doesn't need to look at anyone's face to act.
"Hello, General Manager Nisa."
Seeing Nyssa Harlowen's kindness, Felin stretched out his hand and shook Nyssa Harlowen's hand.
"Director Socks is really young and promising."
Nissaharo looked at Felin and said with a smile.
The reason why he appeared here was because he arranged for someone to pay attention to the situation in the appraisal department. As soon as Felin Socks appeared in the appraisal department, he immediately received a report.
More than a month ago, the eldest daughter of the host family, Lindy Harlowen, asked him to arrange a vacant position at the auction house for the man in front of him.
To be able to let Lindy Harlowen personally open the back door to the Dawei De Auction House, the relationship between the person in front of him and Lindy Harlowen must be unusual, which made him curious about the person in front of him.
"General Manager Nisa, you have given me the award."
Felin responded with a smile.
The same words, spoken from Nyssa Harlowen's mouth, have obviously different meanings from those spoken from David's mouth.
"Director Felin is here for the first time today. Why don't I take you around each department and get to know each other with the supervisors?"
Nyssa Harlowen said enthusiastically.
"That would be troublesome."
Feilin naturally agreed. After all, the purpose of his coming to the auction house today was to show his face in the auction house.
Soon, Felin and Nyssa Harlowen left.
The people in the appraisal department looked at the ugly-looking chief appraiser with various expressions and then dispersed.
The chief appraiser wanted to embarrass the new appraisal director, but obviously failed.
Moreover, the new appraisal director seems to have a very profound background, which can be seen from the polite attitude towards him from the general manager of Nisa.
After having a "staff meal" at Daweider Auction House at noon, Felin left Daweider Auction House, bought some pastries and headed to his sister's house.
After teasing little Kasha for a while, he left his sister's house before his brother-in-law returned.
…
While Felin was spending his rest time, two people came to visit the office of the head of the security department located in the city center of Constantinople.
One of them is beautiful, wearing a purple skirt, has curly medium-length brown hair, and a mole under her left eye. It is Lindy who is the deputy director of the Conston City Security Bureau.
"Ahem..."
The other person's appearance is not that old, he looks to be in his early forties, but he already has white hair and seems to be in poor health. He coughs from time to time.
He is none other than Dorje White, the extremely mysterious director of the Constant City Security Bureau, whom Felin has never seen before.
"Ashamed that the Security Department has such a scum."
The head of the Security Department is named Duff Campbell, a well-built man.
Facing the arriving director and deputy director of the Security Bureau, he said with a look of shame.
"Minister Campbell, you don't have to blame yourself. The cultists are very well hidden, and you are just an ordinary person. It's normal that you didn't find out."
Dorji Bai said comfortingly.
"Don't comfort me. Ariel Soto is my promoted subordinate. I cannot absolve myself from the blame for failing to detect his true identity."
Duff Campbell shook his head.
"Minister Campbell, Ariel Soto's whereabouts are unknown. We are here today to interview people who are familiar with Ariel Soto to see if we can get some useful information."
Lindy said.
"No problem, the entire security department will cooperate fully. I just hope that the Security Bureau can catch this scum of the security department as soon as possible."
Duff Campbell quickly expressed his position.
"Thank you very much. In addition, in order to ensure the authenticity of the news, the Security Bureau will use some extraordinary measures. I hope you can understand."
Lindy hesitated and said.
"I know the rules of the Security Bureau. Don't be embarrassed. Please feel free to act."
Duff Campbell nodded in understanding.
He naturally knew what extraordinary means Lindy was talking about, which must be secret techniques such as hypnosis and lie detection.
Naturally, he was unwilling, but when something like this happened in the security department, he had no right to refuse.
…
One day later, when the vacation ended, Felin took a car to the Security Bureau in the morning and opened the Security Bureau's 201 lounge.
In the heated room, Ivy was sitting on the sofa wearing a white sweater and a black skirt, holding a book in her hand and reading.
The close-fitting sweater completely exposed her figure curves, showing off her golden proportions.
She noticed Felin pushing the door open and she raised her head to look at Felin who entered.
"morning."
Felin said hello to Ivy.
"morning."
Ivy responded with no emotion, lowered her head again, and looked at the book in her hand.
Felin did not bother her anymore, but went to his safe, opened it and took out the secret book of the mysterious gun.
Now that the mysterious points are more than enough, what is missing is the cultivation method from the second ring to the third ring. He must read the content at the back of this secret book as soon as possible in order to improve the mysterious gun.
Moreover, he was short of occult knowledge and urgently needed to read relevant books to supplement his occult knowledge.
There is a lot to read, and I hope he can have some free time in the next period of time so that he can have enough time to read related books.
Bang, bang, bang!
When it was almost noon, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
"Please come in!"
Felin spoke out, and a woman with blond hair and thin-rimmed eyes opened the door and walked in. It was Julie.
She looked at Felin and said.
"Felin, the deputy director wants you to go to her office."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Felin thought of Lindy's promise that day, and his heart became hot.
He stood up immediately and rushed to Lindy's office impatiently.
Ivy glanced at Julie who came to inform, and then at Felin, feeling a little confused and not understanding what happened.
However, she was not an overly curious person, and her attention quickly returned to her book again.
Arriving at Lindy's office, Felin knocked on the door and entered the office.
"coming."
Seeing Felin coming in a hurry, Lindy, who was sitting at the desk, relaxed her slightly frowned eyebrows and showed a slight smile.
"Deputy Bureau, have you caught Ariel Soto?"
Felin asked a little embarrassedly, knowing that his expectations were written on his face.
"Those eyeless monsters should be related to Ariel Soto. Ariel Soto hid after that and has not been caught yet."
Lindy shook her head.
"Ah, you didn't catch it?"
Feilin was surprised. He asked casually, but he didn't expect that something unexpected happened.
The eyeless monster was actually connected to Ariel Soto, and Ariel Soto actually knew in advance that it had been exposed.
"Don't worry, even though you didn't catch Ariel Soto, you have already made a great contribution by making the Security Bureau aware of the resurgence of Gnawing Fang. Your reward will not be less."
Lindy said with a smile.
"I'm not worried about this..."
Felin quickly explained.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just joking."
Lindy raised her hand to stop Felin from explaining.
The little joke made her feel relieved a little bit, and she said with a smile on her face.
"After discussion with Director Dorji, I decided to reward you with an alchemy item."
